My friend Lise is a great cook and it’s always a pleasure to go for dinner at her place.
Her sauces are particularly delicious. I wish I could make them as well but unfortunately it is not the case!
I ate this ham for the first time when Lise invited us for an Easter Brunch. I found it great not only because of the taste but also because it is so easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
- Ham about 2.5 to 3 kg
- Olive oil
- One can of pears
- 250 ml maple syrup
- Some cloves
- One orange sliced and then cut in two
- 250 ml honey or brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon and ginger
Method:
- Place the ham in a pan, skin facing up, and rub it with oil
- Bake the ham for 45 minutes at 3250 F
- Take out the ham from the oven and remove the skin but leaving the fat
- Cut the fat in squares diagonally, about 2 cm
- Using the cloves, stick the pears and oranges on each square
- Mix the other ingredients and pour over the ham
- Bake another 45 minutes, brushing the sweet sauce on top every 10-15 minutes
